Homicide charge laid after man injured in Toronto encampment fire dies: police
An encampment fire has led to a death and a charge of first degree murder, Toronto police said Wednesday.
Crews responded to a fire outside a church on Dec. 26 near Yonge and Charles streets.
Toronto police allege a man set a tent and mattress on fire before throwing items on top of the tent to feed the flames.
This guy is a native and has a years long record I’m betting he’s already bailed.
If Canadians have ever felt like they had a handle on who goes to jail, when and why, and for how long, it’s tough to believe they do nowadays. Or if they think they do, chances are good they’re not too happy about it. Once you notice how many news stories there are about people who have been accused or convicted of violent crimes, and then gotten out on bail or parole, and then been latterly accused or convicted of further violent offences, it is quite difficult to un-notice it.
“Judge reduces sex criminal’s jail time because of his race,” reads the headline of one news report. “Nova Scotia First Nation bans premier from Indigenous land in wake of cannabis crackdown,” reads another.
Nigerian immigrant Omogbolahan Jegede, 25, a former university football player, was found guilty of assaulting two women in 2022 and 2023. One of the women was choked almost into unconsciousness, another was forced to perform oral sex while her movements were being forcefully controlled by him. He was sentenced to only two years in prison.
In Canada, we now have bail for people charged with sexual assault, kidnapping with a firearm and possession of an illegal firearm. We also have reduced sentences for repeat violent sexual offenders based on their race.
It’s an outrageous situation and both instances are due to bad Liberal justice policies.
The banning of a UKIP protest in a Muslim community while pro-Palestine marches were allowed to take place in the wake of the Manchester synagogue attack has laid bare allegations of two-tiered policing by the Met.
A damning report by the think tank Policy Exchange today claimed that the widely held perception the force treats protest groups differently was in fact a ‘reality’.
In one example cited, the force applied for ‘very stringent conditions’ on a UKIP march in Tower Hamlets on the grounds it had caused ‘significant concern’ among the Muslim community.
“Extreme Right-wing” concerns accounted for twice as many Prevent referrals as Islamist extremism last year, according to new data from the Home Office. Of the 8,778 referrals made to the counter-terrorism scheme in the year ending 31 March 2025, 21% (1,798) of referrals were about Right-wing extremism, while 10% (870), concerned Islamism.
Overall referrals to Prevent were up 27% compared with the previous year’s total of 6,922, and constitute the highest number of referrals recorded in a single year since the Home Office began recording in April 2015.
Prevent is as politicized as Brit policing.
Police are investigating whether the suspect in the Huntingdon train stabbings was involved in four knife-related incidents in the hours before the attack.
Anthony Williams appeared in court on Monday charged with 10 counts of attempted murder following a mass stabbing on an LNER train from Doncaster to London on Saturday evening. He was remanded into custody until Dec 1.
There have been calls for an urgent investigation into the police’s handling of the case amid claims there were a string of missed opportunities to apprehend the 32-year-old before the incident.
THE Home Secretary has posted no reaction to the unprovoked knife killing of Wayne Broadhurst in Uxbridge for which an illegal immigrant from Afghanistan has been arrested. Days earlier, Shabana Mahmood had pledged another £10million towards private security for Islamic institutions.
Nobody in government is posting calls to take a knee for Wayne Broadhurst, or to ‘say his name’.
On October 7, Ontario Court Justice Heather Perkins-McVey handed down conditional sentences to Tamara Lich and Chris Barber for their roles in the 2022 Freedom Convoy. Both Lich and Barber were found guilty of mischief, a criminal charge. While neither faces further jail time, their conditional sentences impose a year of house arrest, followed by six months under a curfew.
A Truck protest today would be one giant Sikh traffic smash-up.
For Samuel Williams, the Oxford PPE student who led a chant at the pro-Palestine march in London last weekend, to be successfully prosecuted the Police and the CPS will have to equate Zionists with Jews. I’m a Zionist, but I’m not a Jew. Someone like Zack Polanski is a Jew but, seemingly not a Zionist.
Allowing the pro-Palestinian marches week after week to chant anti-Zionist slogans is only justifiable if Zionists and Jews aren’t synonymous. If they were the same, then the chants would be illegal.
UK Groups Back 'Put the Zios in the Ground' Chant

Next week, the Canadian government will bring forward a new bail reform bill aimed at cracking down on violent and repeat offenders, Prime Minister Mark Carney announced Thursday.
The new legislation will target those accused of serious crimes such as violent auto thefts, breaking and entering, human trafficking, as well as sexual and violent assaults, in an effort to keep those accused of such acts, out of Canadian communities.
“Right now, in most bail hearings, the starting point is to release, and the Crown must prove why someone should not be released on bail, making it too easy for repeated violent offenders to quickly get back on the street, sometimes back into the same communities that they just committed crimes in,” Carney said. “Our new law will flip that script.”
A Calgary man sexually assaulted a 12-year-old girl, terrorized her with threats, and left scars that will last a lifetime. The Crown sought 10 years behind bars. The judge agreed the sentence was fitting. But then came the caveat: “But for his Gladue factors, I would have imposed the sentence sought by the Crown.” And just like that, two years were knocked off.
In response to the killing of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk earlier this month, British social-media influencer Charlotte Hayes posted a video on TikTok appearing to celebrate his death.
Left-wing TikToker, Charlotte Hayes, with over 200k followers calls for people to “kill them all” following Charlie’s murder.
We are taking these calls for our deaths very seriously.

Shocked Premier Doug Ford is “confident” the OPP will quickly round up these mystery suspects
At first glance, it looked like five gunmen standing in line shooting their guns off as part of a firing squad.
Or perhaps it was a special militia holding a bridge in a foreign war zone.
This is in Georgian Bay Township/Muskoka. It’s still not clear what they were shooting at? pic.twitter.com/J7612176oI
